Miammmm

Two quick ones @ Pien. Both are pastel de nata inspired peach & apricot pastry sours. The first one is a regular version, the second one is an imperial version. Both look dark rusty, almost brown, impenetrable, for sure. Weak carbonation in both. And a truly subdued lace ring on the top. Beer #1 gives an awesome scent: apricot jam, peach jam, biscuit, sweet shortcrust pastry, vanilla, as if faint cardamom. Very pastry-like! Beer #2 puts forward a surprisingly juicy fragrance: I can spot apricot, a bit of biscuit and distant sweet shortcrust pastry. Much less pastry-like! Beer #1 sips beautifully with apricot pulp, canned peach slices, nectarine, biscuit, a hint of cereal, vanilla and wheat malt. Still, this delivers although the generous olfactory punch doesn't carry over to the tastebuds in full. Beer #2 tastes intense apricot pulp, bowls of peach juice, ripe of course, canned peach, too. The malty or biscuity or cerealy elements are marginal only, for which reason any pastry-like impression remains negligible. Beer #1 clocks light-medium to medium. The finish is more juicy and pulpy than pastry-like. The mouthfeel is medium, deep, a tad thick, pulpy, tropical and distantly spiced. Surprisingly, not really lip-glueing. Anyway, this gives a nice pastel de nata impression, especially in the air. Beer #2 leaves a medium-full to full sensation in the mouth. The mouthfeel is also juicy, pulpy, ripe and tropical. Not really pastry-like. Flavorful, yes, but can't beat the regular edition.

Kerma leivos, kermainen karamellinen ja hapokas hedelmä leivos. Mieleen tulee Madeiran pienet herkku leivokset. Kyseessä miedompi versio tuotteesta 4.8 mutta toimii.

Kuvassa vasemmalla. Järjettömän hyvää. Kyllä tässä maistuu pastel de nata, tai ainakin vanilja ja leivosmaisuus. Aprikoosi tietenkin myös. Oikein hienostunut pastry.

Strong natural peach 🍑 and apricot flavours with a hint of vanilla and caramelised sugar. Very juicy with a strong alcohol kick. Not very sour but a nice summer drink
